I really wish when things moved to async/await, that they would have gotten rid of promises like I proposed here: https://es.discourse.group/t/callback-based-simplified-async...

As it stands it's layers of caching, state machines and complexity.

Your proposal seems very reminiscent of the generator-based JavaScript async library I created back in 2010:

It's building on top of something that developers should be using anyway; or at least have familiarity with. I'm quite glad they ended up going this route for that reason.
